" Creativity, underrated by many, over used by the hasty, only truly realised by the few & never as an adjective only ever as a verb. Creativity gave us poison gas, Volkswagens, Jersey Shore, Dark Side of the Moon & the light bulb - but it always does something. Creativity has to have an output & never a byproduct. 
It's not the be all or the end all - it is the area in between - Seeing what everyone has seen, but able to arrive at a thinking that has eluded everyone else. 
Where we take that thinking is the application of creativity & that's where it gets, messy, sexy, exciting, dirty, thrilling, unexpected & wonderful.~ hopefully..."

"I often think of my creative process as two parts. It starts as spontaneous drawings. I draw whatever I have in my mind first, based on the concept of the project. This is more like doodling. After doing so for a while, I start looking at the drawing as a design. That means that I digest the drawing, simplify it, exaggerate, add things and so on. This second part of the process is carefully calculated  and time consuming, compared to the spontaneous first part. At the same time, these two process are important to each other. If one is incomplete, then I will not be satisfied with the result of the design at the end. Everything I design goes through these phases, and I do enjoy both parts of the process in different ways." - Junichi Tsuneoka (illustrator/designer/founder of Stubborn Sideburn )
